Network
Flamecord (Waterfall fork) was installed to prevent Netty exploits. Along with this, a custom plugin was installed that increases the maximum player count by one every time a player joins and reduces it by one when a player leaves.
Plugins were installed to allow the use of /<server> (for example: /factions) to transport between servers.
Staff chat and other useful features, such as /alert, were introduced.
The Hub
Although this cannot be shown effectively without joining the server, sound design was fully explored in the server to improve the players' experiences.

To improve players' experiences, NPCs have been strategically placed at spawn to allow easy, intuitive access to the server's features.
Colour design was explored fully in the spawn to ensure colour coordination and to give a custom experience.
G-Kits
Claimable every three days, G-Kits give you the kit shown in the above GIF, but with a random level of enchantments. A G-Kit is the best way to get into the real factions experience.
Rank Kits
Rank Kits are given to certain ranks with everyone receiving the first two kits. Each other kit is given to the respective rank. Rank Kits also have custom enchantments but the enchantment levels are not randomised.
